Kenneth Minogue
In this provocative but balanced essay, Kenneth Minogue discusses the development of politics from the ancient world to the twentieth century. He prompts us to consider why political systems evolve, how politics offers both power and order in our society, whether democracy is always a good thing, and what future politics may have in the twenty-first century.
‘This is a fascinating book which sketches, in avery short space, one view of the nature of politics … the reader is challenged, provoked and stimulated by Minogue’s trenchant views.’
Ian Davies, Talking Politics
‘a dazzling but unpretentious display of great scholarship and humane reflection’
